Religious NGO Jamiyyathusalaf has called on the government to “provide military training to all Muslim Maldivians and familiarise citizens with the use of modern weaponry” before “Jews take over the country”, days before a controversial visit by a team of Isreali surgeons to offer free-of-charge eye camps in Male’, Gaaf Dhaal Thinadhoo and Addu Atoll Hithadhoo.
A statement on Salaf’s website claims that “Maldivians would not accept under any circumstances extremist Jewish organisations from Israel, which ignores UN resolutions in brutalising Muslims, exerting influence in the Maldives.”
Following the announcement of the eye camp last month, the Islamic Foundation of the Maldives called on the government to “shun all medical aid from the Zionist regime” and not to normalise relations with Israel.
The Foundation claimed that Maldivians should be wary of the eye surgeons as Isreali medical teams “have become notorious for illegally harvesting organs from non-Jews around the world.”
Political Counsellor at the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi, Itay Tagner, dismissed the claims as “outrageous and ridiculous” with “not one gram of truth to it.”
The religious conservation Adaalath party, coalition partner of the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) which controls the Islamic Ministry, meanwhile issued a press release yesterday claiming that it has learned “from reliable sources” that the camp is funded by the American-Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).
“Doctors who are coming for this eye camp are from a Zionist organisation called ‘Eyes from Zion’,” reads the Adhaalath statement. “Don’t think that these are doctors from a normal hospital! We have learned that a group from the Israeli Foreign Ministry will be coming with them.”
It adds that while the party has welcomed medical teams from countries such as Germany, America and India in the past, the Israeli delegation was a different matter.
“Allegations that the Maldivian government has secret ties with the Israeli government is something Maldivian citizens should be concerned about today,” it continues. “What is the truth about claims that some senior government officials made secret trips to Israel via Jordan?”
Adhaalath further claims that the Isreali government gifted a floating ambulance to the Maldives in June this year but was not made public by the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH).
The statement adds that “Zionists wishing to freely assist a 100 percent Muslim country defies logic” since it is “as clear as the afternoon sun that Jews would not wish well for Muslims”, cautioning that help from Israel would only come with “a hidden agenda”.
“Today it’s a team of doctors. Tomorrow it will be Israeli flights. Then will follow Israeli teachers, technicians and advisors,” it reads, adding that Adhaalath has voiced concern with the government’s efforts “to dim the role of Islamic studies” ever since it began pursuing relations with the Jewish state.
The party claims that the government’s plans to make Islam an optional subject in higher secondary education and allegedly remove reservations it holds to international conventions “could no longer be seen as coincidences.”
The party cautions citizens to be wary of Jews infiltrating the Maldives and “be watchful of agents that facilitate their plans”.
However, Islamic Minister Dr Abdul Majeed Abdul Bari told Minivan News today that the ministry has neither raised concerns with the government nor urged the authorities not to go ahead with the camp.
Bari insisted that the Adhaalath press release did not reflect the views of the Islamic Ministry.
Some 739 people in Male’ and 879 in Addu and Fuvahmulah have registered for treatment at the eye camp on December 9.

Really? Did they?
Oh! Don't tell me Salaf appointed you as their spokes person?
When did you get lucky?

"Why these Israili Doctors Come here, why dont they go to Palastine and help wounded children and elders."
They always take the shortcut to help Palestinian kids. Guess how?
By dropping calcium and phosphorous bombs on them! Just one highly nutritious boost, is all it takes to send them to eternal sleep.
When they are dead, start digging and collecting corneas from their eyes and keep it safe for the Maldives trip.
Don't forget to superglue the void eye sockets of the dead Palestinians before sending them to the mortuary.

"Isnt saving a life worth more than taking a life?"
Are you blind?
They do their practicals on bombed Palestinians!
Salaf is a hate monger with a mentality of 7th century mindset but having to live a 21st century world. The rules of then and now are like day and night. Jews of today probably not those talked about in quruan.
I wonder why salaf don't mind mulims being treated by Hindus and Christians!
make no mistake the President of Maldives is a freemason trying to establishone world religion which is esoteric masonry or the worship of the fallen angel Lucifer (SATANISM).

Well! One of the rules then was to eat to survive.
If you think those rules have changed like night and day - then stop EATING now!

This is the famous "infidel" hospital, lol
http://nyp.org/
.
And now you can all guess how many jewish doctors are working in that place!
And why are the Saudis going to NY (or often to german or english hospitals? Could it be that they don´t trust their own doctors (often from Pakistan) in saudi hospitals?
@ liberal
"This is a humanitarian aid by some Jewish organization, not a Jewish creed workshop."
Humanitarian?
Very interesting!
Then why do they have to come this far in search of humans?
Hmmm! Hmmm! Hmmmm! I smell a human in the Indian Ocean!
@heck
See for yourself heck; so many voices against Salaf. And what you are? Self appointed spokesperson of Salaf.
@Fatumath
Even in Saudi, U will find Indian and American doctors. More than half of Saud family resides in US.
@ Alibeyya,
All Salaf leaders and cadres go to India for treatment. Poor guys, they have no respite from these "atheists".
@ Hassan
Agree with you.
@ Ilyas Ahmed,
On religions have now become political in nature. There is only "give & take". Saudi will give aid and in return wants guys like Salaf. Salaf was registered as NGO but now it challenges and protests govt decisions. Who gave them this authority or who is behind them.
@ Z-nut
"See for yourself heck; so many voices against Salaf"
Voices?
The same voices that came out to allow alcohol boozing all over Maldives?
Didn't they VANISH like little cockroaches, when the real voices came out?
Voices such as yours are not real voices.
They are the lewd whispers of Iblees.
Defeating satanic whispers of your proud 'laadheene baigandu' is as simple as downing a cup of water for people who keep a real voice.
You can sing like Pavarotti in your bathroom, but once you come out, start over!
Doe-a deer, a female deer!
Ray-a drop of golden sun.
Me-a name, I call my self.
Far- a long, long, long, too long way to RUN!
Next time before you open your mouth like a rotten cabbage pretending to have a voice - think it over for at least a week in your bed!
For God's sake don't you see what is going on?
Muslims are not asking you to lift heavy boulders.
They are asking you to obey God's law. Give charity. Keep your chastity. Hold steadfast to your prayers. Lower your gaze. Prevent vice. Promote good deeds. Love your children. Love your parents. Love your neighbours. Fast the month. Spend wisely. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Eat with moderation. Respect your women folk. Respect your elders.
If you hear something other than these in Salaf or in whatever Muslim NGO's voice, then your are listening from the wrong ear, maybe somewhere down there!
Open your eyes. Open your heart. The world is not forever!
Draw closer to God and His Path!
Refrain from satisfying the whispers of the devil like calling on the government to legalize boozing, gay marriage, doping, gambling, adultery, sodomy, buggery, fornication (just use condom), pornography, idol worship, sex tourism, massage parlours, whore-houses, brothels.
Is that why you want to come out against Muslims?
Phew!
Short and sweet: Ignore morality ?
@ Z-nut
"Saudi will give aid and in return wants guys like Salaf."
What!
You forgot Wilkileaks so soon?
Accepting GITMO prisoners for a few grands to pocket per prisoner?
Remember when Doc said on TV like a peaceful bird "we just want to help our Muslim brothers, and that's all"
No! That wasn't all, damn it!
Someone in this administration was pathetically begging for money from the US for MDP's dirty expenses!
Where is our self-esteem?
@ Kanbulo
"make no mistake the President of Maldives is a free mason trying to establish one world religion which is esoteric masonry or the worship of the fallen angel Lucifer (SATANISM)."
I think I agree with kanbulo!
@heck on Tue, 7th Dec 2010 12:29 PM
That was well put! And I totally agree!
I hope that the Salafis AND Adalaathu are reading the updated Guardian pages.
There are leaked reports about surprising and intriguing Islamic values on the page:

@ heck
Get real heck. Update yourself. Saudis wanted US to attack Iran. Why? Why Saud family resides in US? Why Saudi Arabia is donating money to Al-qaida and other militant organisations. For peace? Its because of these organisations we Muslims are getting bad name.
Whats wrong in accepting a gitmo prisoner that too a Muslim? Moreover, with moolah coming in as additional package.
Things taken in right proportion are healthy. Same goes with alcohol. Medicine(s) contain alcohol and some even have snake poisons. Besides, U seem to be forgetting that your Salaf friends propagate wine & women (but) after death.
I prefer to be a rotten cabbage' than a Salafi propagating nonsence, feeding hatred in the minds of the people.
Like Ilyas Ahmed said above
"Religion and Islam is about choosing “Good” over evil and “Peace” over “Violence”. The greeting of Muslims is “Assalaam Alakum” or “May Peace Be Upon You” and these words illustrate what true Islam is all about. The Pakistani brain-washed or self-taught extremists are nothing but social unfits and outcasts from the fringe of society seeking a political voice to spread hate".
zeenat - as you are trying to prove your point; perhaps equally you should give a thought or two to the revealings on Jews as well. Islam does not operate neither it allows to be used as a weapon for politics.
If there is God let him talk to me direct. Why would he choose someone like me to tell things through him? Why does God have no courage to face all his slaves? What a joke?
Seriously?? Islamic Foundation again makes another kick-ass appearance after being in hibernation eh? These people in the IFM should go back and learn their ABCs. Idiots idiots idiots and f*@##$g idiots.
seriously, your views deserve no respect from me and I hope people will not listen to what these idiots have to say.
@ Z-nut
"Things taken in right proportion are healthy. Same goes with alcohol."
Can you even identify the right proportion once your under the influence of alcohol?
"Saudis wanted US to attack Iran. Why?"
Is that even a question? Why would MDP and DRP be at loggerheads while still representing the Maldivian parliament under the same roof?
"Why Saudi Arabia is donating money to Al-qaida and other militant organisations."
Does that even qualify as a question? Ask yourself why do Americans and Jewish lobbyists fund Israel in billions of dollars?
What's wrong in accepting a gitmo prisoner that too a Muslim?
Are you insane? Are we the their prisons division?
"Medicine(s) contain alcohol and some even have snake poisons."
Yes, and some medicine also contain bacteria and fungus! So be it! Why are you worried? Cool down!
"I prefer to be a rotten cabbage’ than a Salafi propagating nonsence"
It's obvious. No need to publish your reeking desires.
"The Pakistani brain-washed or self-taught extremists are nothing but social unfits and outcasts from the fringe of society seeking a political voice to spread hate”
I heard that Pakistan also produced some of our doctors. So what are we talking about?
Brain-washing occurs everywhere. You can't stereotype only Muslims as getting brain washed. You haven't opened your eyes properly. Use two pieces of 'iloshi' to open them.
Most politicians are normally outcasts and misfits. Look at our own politicians!
And look at you! At which place did you get your brain washed - with all those hate towards Islam?
"For peace? Its because of these organisations we Muslims are getting bad name."
You don't understand. It's called 'fikuree han'guraama'
So there! You have admitted on your own that you got brain-washed by media!
@ Anbar
"If there is God let him talk to me direct. Why would he choose someone like me to tell things through him?"
I think, if God sent you an angel, you would have still come up with another excuse! Why can't God send someone of my own kind?
Closer to home, in our own Solar System, how long do you think you can look at the Sun, face to face, before you go blind?
No one's surprised.
People like you will light a candle in a dark room and shout "Raise! This is your chance to prove you exist"
That's the nature of arrogant people like you.
Quran 25:21
Surah Al-Furqān (The Criterion)
"And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence."
@heck
Why evade questions? Read them once again and if have time ponder over them. Your problem is that you mix religion in politics and vice versa.
@ Z-nut
"Your problem is that you mix religion in politics and vice versa."
Your problem is you are looking at the world through heavily tinted glass and you fail to understand what is ratio and proportion!
"Why evade questions?"
Why evade the answers?
"Read them once again and if have time ponder over them."
Read the answers and ponder over them!
@Heck
Your problem is you challenge anti religious question with religious answers, it does not make any sense. The ancient people had same question what we have now, so think about it. It seems they have not been challenged with any credible answers by religious figures. They have not faced by any supernatural thing. But rather the only answers were what ordinary people see every day, the sun, moon, and mountain, rain and in other words Mother Nature and her unique ecosystem.
Any sane mind can see and feel these things the question is why we are here, who sent us and what is the purpose of us in this ecosystem is. If everything in this world is created for human being and human beings are created for praying some supreme being in return to get eternal life with eternal happiness does not sound the real purpose of this universal. And that question cannot be answered and was never answered. Think about the ocean. 71% percent of earth’s surface is covered with water and we human being for us God created earth do not even have a gill ….?
@ Anbar
"Your problem is you challenge anti religious question with religious answers, it does not make any sense."
Your problem is not that you are anti religious, but your exceptional desire to win the lottery while you forgot to buy a ticket!
@ Anbar
"71% percent of earth’s surface is covered with water and we human being for us God created earth do not even have a gill ….?"
What about the fish that we eat and export from that ocean? Do we need gills to do that?
@heck
i can see that you have become some kind of fanatic. Apparently, you don't wanna believe Israelis can do good contribution to the world. if not, you are misinformed. Israel aid camps were present in Haitian and Indonesian earth quakes, civil war conflicts in African countries etc. Don't cloud your judgement by whats happening in middle east.
@ Liberal
I would love to hear your explanation on my being a kind of 'fanatic'.
What limits have I exceeded to qualify as a fanatic?
"Israel aid camps were present in Haitian and Indonesian earth quakes, civil war conflicts in African countries etc."
Are there any of their aid camps in the occupied Palestinian territories?
Why are they trying to fool us as a kind an benevolent human rights activists while at the same time attacking international aid flotillas to Palestinians?
Isn't that a bit self contradictory?
Don't you think they are trying to overturn the diplomatic outlook of the world regarding occupied lands by trying to replace their eyes with an eye-from-zion?
So we will view everything from a Zionist perspective?
Why do you want to stereotype me as a fanatic?
Can you justify your claim?
Jews plan to take Maldives...this is the most funny and stupid news I ever heard. Worst than a previous gov leader who suggested to build a railway train in Male. Salaf...you are extremely PARANOID!
You are losing ground month by month. My advice is to think before speak.
@heck
Muslim fanatics barely tolerate Jews, these people will be satisfied with nothing less than Israel destruction and not recognize its right to exist. No compromise. you are acting like one of them.
Israeli military disregard for human life, but other hand Hamas launch rockets to civilian areas. look both sides.
@ Liberal
"Muslim fanatics barely tolerate Jews"
What do Jews do to NOT TOLERATE?
What do Muslims do to NOT TOLERATE?
Jews demolish Muslim's house.
Muslim find out the roof has disappeared.
Jews build their own home there.
Who is not tolerating whom?
What makes us think that we won't be treated exactly like how the Palestinians are by Israelis? They probably think we are a desperate nation full of brown skinned idiots. They are not going to think twice about murdering us. We aren't angry with Jews, there are plenty of Jews in the world who are completely against what Israel is doing and those who do not even recognize Israel as a country. So yes not all of us want to be 'friends' with a 'nation' who has forced themselves upon a community and who murder and torture innocent people.
